Results: Humanizing maternal and child nursing care is vitally important because it guarantees women access to prenatal care, ensuring dignified care, a safe and healthy pregnancy, with the necessary information so that they can choose with peace of mind location, type of delivery, the professional who will assist you, the companion, the position of giving birth, among others, always respecting the participation of your family in this entire process.

However, the actual implementation of the humanization of childbirth will always be more dependent on the relationship between the woman and the health professional, since communication and good interpersonal relationships are strategic tools for the quality of care provided.

It can be emphasized that the nurse has a fundamental role in the conducts used in order to promote humanized childbirth, the attributions of this professional in humanized childbirth must be established in a way that values and puts into practice what is recommended by the Ministry of Health.
